Just a correction, as someone who has followed Mark's customs for years, the 'general release' trailers are $800 a pop. He has almost finished a current batch of 10 of these, done by making up his on molds and such I believe.
The $1200 you refer to is a single, scratch built version of his trailers that featured lots of added extras, such as LEDs and such. There was only one of these made.
So I don't know if that changes your opinion or not. Just the bulk made trailers are not $1200.
As for me, I'm not surprised at the price, given. If you go to various customizers and get a quote for a custom figure that's Masterpiece size, it seems about average.
Sure we are collectors, but hey.. There will always be various collectibles that go for higher prices.
I mean, just look at Henki Wildrider. Isn't he going for $500 these days? And he was mass produced and no where near a MP size.
But I wouldn't want KOs of him released. And neither would I want KOs of Mark's stuff released, if he doesn't want them. If I can't afford them then I just move on.
